[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2407558, member: 15054"] The first few i made i did NOT size the cases with the 45 acp die. As they were already smaller than the 45 case.. but after firing one i needed to use the 45acp sizer die. I have a friend that has some land in Hitchcock OK. Snakes are abundant.. Same type of terrain you deal with I am sure. I have some #12 and was really impressed with it, 8 or 9 would be nice to play with also. I cut some of that rifle brass down to 1.1" and some to 1.8" and they all worked..just very little space in the shorted cases. so the birdshot loads were lighter. I also tried Tightgroup powder...That does not play nice with the Toilet Paper (TP) wad. When i seated the wad on top of the Tightgroup powder the wad would squirm to the side and push the powder up onto the TP.. that powder feels extra slick.. If i could explain it the Tightgroup powder is like slick teflon...and the Bullseye is like rough sand paper..it stays where you pour it. [/QUOTE]
